Which side of the 40 do you put your signs...? Doesn't seem like a well written law...2 signs arent much for covering 4 sides of a 40[/quote]
Also LMBO @ 2 signs per 40 acres being clearly marked. May be clear enough for road hunters but if you have never followed hounds to a tree, did your deed, and then on the way out realized you weren't where you thought you were, I'd say you haven't done much of it.
this is per WI law.
"1. If a sign at least 11 inches square is placed in at least 2 conspicuous places for every 40 acres to be protected. The sign must provide an appropriate notice and the name of the person giving the notice followed by the word “owner" if the person giving the notice is the holder of legal title to the land and by the word “occupant" if the person giving the notice is not the holder of legal title but is a lawful occupant of the land. Proof that appropriate signs as provided in this subdivision were erected or in existence upon the premises to be protected prior to the event complained of shall be prima facie proof that the premises to be protected were posted as provided in this subdivision."
i see no problem with this. it puts the burden on the trespasser to know where they are, not on the land owner.
Put 2 signs up on your forty where they are easily seen and your good.
After that call the sheriff and get any trespasser charged.
As it should be.
No need for silly marking every so many feet or what ever.
